Greg Cromer on House Retirement Committee

When Rep. Greg Cromer, R-Slidell, joined the House Retirement Committee recently, he came in for a bit of friendly hazing from his colleagues — and a dose of political reality. Rep. Juan LaFonta, D-New Orleans, brought it all home when he asked Cromer, "What did you do wrong to get here? That's what I want to know. ... I voted for the wrong Speaker. What did you do?" — Jeremy Alford
